If you're using MathType 6.9b or 6.9d, both items should be checked. If they are present, the "MathType Commands" item should be checked (selected) if you're using MathType 7 and later.

Pages on Mac OS X 10.5.8 will also open xml docx files with embedded Mathtype graphics, again without issue. as noted above, OO 3.4.1 as well as 4.0 will mangle the MathType graphics.
#MATHTYPE FOR MAC ISSUES PATCH#
On my system with Mac OS X 10.5.8, I was able to use NeoOffice 3.1.2 patch 9 and Pages 4.0.5 (852) via iWork 09 (Preview 4.2 cannot open Word files 97-2004). docx files of Word 2008 (or newer) I have not tested all possible word files but, on a Mac, these ought to work. Preview & Pages 5.2 should also be able to open the. doc) - will open correctly on a Mac running OS X 10.9.5 using Pages 5.2 and/or Preview 7.0. However, opening a Word doc that was created via Microsoft 2004 (saved as. opening a Word file will open but the MT graphics lose its context - For example, becomes << there are other similar issues. It looks like there has been an issue with MathType & OpenOffice since version 3.4.1 and perhaps earlier, that has carried on into OO 4 & 4.1. With respect to the MathType sdk - I think this is an OO conversion issue. Since the equation numbers and equation references were created in Word with Word's "field codes", I don't know of a way to retain those when you open the document in OpenOffice. To prevent that, you can use MathType to convert all the OMML equations to MathType equations (with MathType's Convert Equations command on the MathType tab in Word). Once they're in OpenOffice, you won't be able to edit them anymore. IF that's the route you take, and if you have OMML equations in the document, be aware that they'll be converted to images when you save as. When you do that, all the MathType equations should be not only visible, but properly aligned in the document and editable in MathType. The best situation will be if you're able to open your document in Word, save it as a. docx format, you won't have much success neither MathType nor OMML equations will come over. Now to the original issue - opening a Word 2007 document in OpenOffice 4.0 such that the MathType equations and references display properly. Definitely room for confusion here, so I wanted to clear that up - as well as I could anyway. I won't assume what you had in mind, but you may have been thinking of the "new" equation editor MS introduced in Word 2007, which has an official name of "OMML equation editor", but most people just say "equation editor".

Its default location in Windows 7-64 is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\EQUATION\EQNEDT32.EXE, and can be run from the Run dialog. Our Equation Editor, which MS renamed as Microsoft Equation 3.0 (let's call it MSE3), is still included in MS Office, so if someone has MS Office installed, he probably also has MSE3. I understand what you mean by "the MathType editor that came with MSO", although MathType itself has never shipped with MS Office.

If the formulas in your docx document were made with the MathType editor that came with MSO, you're out of luck - you won't be able to make OO find that MT editor.
